CI#157 Pastels and Brights for Christmas End of Year Challenge.

Well..... 2023 was...... a big year 

and here it is 2024 already.  

I've had a little de-tox from social media and cardmaking but thought now would be a good time to jump back in and share in this colour challenge. This is one of the four or five cards I created for Colour INKspiration challenges but never got around to photographing and sharing in 2023....  


Definitely not a Christmas card , but the colour palette is so light and soft and lovely.

My card uses one of the new sets in the January Mini - Painted Lavender -it is an image only set with no sentiments. I love it. We'll be using this in my February class.
I used the Baby Wipe Technique and loaded Bubble Bath and Flirty Flamingo inks onto a babywipe and used that as my inkpad for the floral sprays. 

I did add some more sparkle after I took the photo. The inside shows the beauty of the floral stem


While this colour challenge is nearly over you still have this weekend to play with these gorgeous colours and get your 2024 off to a creative start. I hope you will join us at the FAcebook Group here.

If you would like the new mini catalogue I'd be happy to send you a copy.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
